INES - Role of nuclear energy in the post-COVID economic recovery - Sama Bilbao y Leon (World Nuclear Association)

Nuclear energy can play a central role in post-COVID recovery efforts by boosting economic growth in the short-term, whilst also supporting, in a cost-effective manner, the development of a low-carbon, resilient and affordable electricity infrastructure. Investments into nuclear energy will also strengthen energy security, and can contribute to the production of heat and hydrogen to decarbonize other sectors of the economy.
